YEAR 1
We’re happy to finally be sharing with you some full information about our first year here at 4 Years for Hope! We’re a small team, and all have life stuff going on, so please bear with us as we establish what’s going on over here, but here we have some things we can share.
Theme
Our first year’s theme is…
HOPE THROUGH FEAR
We’ll be welcoming submissions surrounding this idea, and exploring it throughout our work. We hope that our community can come together throughout the uncertain times we’re all facing right now and project a little bit of hope and community in spite of that.
Causes
We’re going to be supporting three causes this year and setting aside a little for an emergency fund, so that we can assist in donating to any emergencies happening throughout the year. Our three main causes this year are:
Disability Belongs
Disability Belongs™ is a diverse, disability-led nonprofit that works to create systemic change in how society views and values people with disabilities, and that advances policies and practices that empower people with disabilities to have a better future. Our mission is to drive cultural and policy change to ensure our full representation and influence, creating a more accessible, equitable, and inclusive society.
Centre for Reproductive Rights
The Center for Reproductive Rights is a global human rights organization of attorneys and advocates working to ensure reproductive rights are protected in law as fundamental human rights for the dignity, equality, health, and well-being of every person.
Point of Pride
Point of Pride helps the most vulnerable members of our community feel seen and supported through access to life-saving health and wellness services.
Dates (sort of!) for your Diary
We’ll be announcing our submission opening dates in the first week of May. Submissions will open in early June.
Keep an eye out here around then for further updates! In the meantime, please share with your friends!
